HAWAI‘I STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS

Annual Report Fiscal Year 2003-2004 The Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts mission is to promote, perpetuate, preserve and encourage culture and the arts, history and the humanities as central to the quality of life of the people of Hawai‘i.

The Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (HSFCA) was founded in 1965 as the official arts agency of the State of Hawai‘i. The HSFCA stimulates, guides, and promotes culture, the arts, history, and the humanities throughout the state. The HSFCA office is on the second floor of the historic No. 1 Capitol District Building at 250 South Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu, just Ewa of the Capitol Building. This building is also the home of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum which opened on November 1, 2002. The HSFCA, through its programs, offers biennium grants to support funding for projects that preserve and further culture, the arts, history, and the humanities; administers a public visual arts program for state public places; conducts an apprenticeship program to perpetuate folk traditions; grants fellowships to encourage artists; collaborates with organizations and educational institutions on arts in education projects; conducts workshops; and provides staff resource assistance. The HSFCA Commission is composed of nine members, each appointed by the Governor of Hawai‘i for a four-year term according to Section 9-2 (b), Hawai‘i Revised Statutes. From these members, who serve without compensation, the Governor appoints a chairperson. The HSFCA is a part of the Executive Branch of the State of Hawai‘i and is attached to the Department of Accounting and General Services for administrative purposes. The statutory provisions for the HSFCA and its biennium grants program are set by Chapter 9, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes. Funding for the HSFCA and its programs is provided by appropriations from the Legislature of the State of Hawai‘i, through general operating and special funds; grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA); and private contributions for specific designations. The enabling legislation for the Art in Public Places Program, founded in 1967, is in Section 103-8.5, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes. For information on the HSFCA, grants, programs, Hawai‘i‘s arts and cultural events, and worldwide arts opportunities, visit our website, www.hawaii.gov/ sfca.

Pursuant to Chapter 9-3 (8), HRS, the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts respectfully submits this annual report about its programs and services to the Governor, the State Legislature, and to the general public for Fiscal Year 2003-2004.
